The brief required two semi’s to be consolidated and re-imagined as one contemporary family home. The challenge being that the newly renovated semi needed to be retained for the most part, including its existing kitchen and stair, while the other semi would be completely re-built to form the new united floor plan. The additional floor area provided opportunity to bring generous amounts of northern light, not previously available to the south facing semi, and greenery into the heart of the home by incorporating an internal courtyard in the plan.
We are an Architecture & Interior design practice established in 2004, specialising in delivering mid to high-end residential projects from concept to completion. David and Lisa are founding partners with a growing practice of 5 designers. We are a small and friendly team that enjoys working closely with our clients to achieve their aspirations.
Our homes are individually designed to be a reflection of each unique site and client, but always with a common thread of timeless design, longevity and functionality. We pride ourselves in designing buildings that sit seamlessly with the environment and site.
Equally as important, we help clients identify how to prioritise their budget when embarking on a construction project and we understand that it’s not always just about creating a home, but also adding value to the property as an investment.
